Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG) What is the Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG)?
The Information Asymmetry Gradient (IAG) is a unique market regime and imbalance detector that quantifies the subtle, directional “information flow” in price and volume. Inspired by information theory and market microstructure, IAG is designed to help traders spot the early buildup of conviction or surprise—the kind of hidden imbalance that often precedes major price moves.
Unlike traditional volume or momentum indicators, IAG focuses on the efficiency and directionality of information transfer: how much “informational energy” is being revealed by up-moves versus down-moves, normalized by price movement. It’s not just about net flow, but about the quality and asymmetry of that flow.
Theoretical Foundation
Information Asymmetry: Markets move when new information is revealed. If one side (buyers or sellers) is consistently more “informationally efficient” per unit of price change, an imbalance is building—even if price hasn’t moved much yet.
Gradient: By tracking the rate of change (gradient) between fast and slow information flows, IAG highlights when a subtle imbalance is accelerating.
Volatility of Asymmetry: Sudden spikes in the volatility of information asymmetry often signal regime uncertainty or the approach of a “surprise” move.
How IAG Works
Directional Information Content: For each bar, IAG estimates the “information per unit of price change” for both up-moves and down-moves, using volume and price action.
Asymmetry Calculation: Computes the difference (or ratio) between up and down information content, revealing directional bias.
Gradient Detection: Calculates both a fast and slow EMA of the asymmetry, then measures their difference (the “gradient”), normalized as a Z-score.
Volatility of Asymmetry: Tracks the standard deviation of asymmetry over a rolling window, with Z-score normalization to spot “information shocks.”
Flow Strength: Quantifies the conviction of the current information flow on a 0–100 scale.
Regime Detection: Flags “extreme” asymmetry, “building” flow, and “high volatility” states.

PhenLabs - Market Fluid Dynamics📊 Market Fluid Dynamics -
Version: PineScript™ v6
📌 Description
The Market Fluid Dynamics - Phen indicator is a new thinking regarding market analysis by modeling price action, volume, and volatility using a fluid system. It attempts to offer traders control over more profound market forces, such as momentum (speed), resistance (thickness), and buying/selling pressure. By visualizing such dynamics, the script allows the traders to decide on the prevailing market flow, its power, likely continuations, and zones of calmness and chaos, and thereby allows improved decision-making.
This measure avoids the usual difficulty of reconciling multiple, often contradictory, market indications by including them within a single overarching model. It moves beyond traditional binary indicators by providing a multi-dimensional view of market behavior, employing fluid dynamic analogs to describe complex interactions in an accessible manner.
🚀 Points of Innovation
Integrated Fluid Dynamics Model: Combines velocity, viscosity, pressure, and turbulence into a single indicator.
Normalized Metrics: Uses ATR and other normalization techniques for consistent readings across different assets and timeframes.
Dynamic Flow Visualization: Main flow line changes color and intensity based on direction and strength.
Turbulence Background: Visually represents market stability with a gradient background, from calm to turbulent.
Comprehensive Dashboard: Provides an at-a-glance summary of key fluid dynamic metrics.
Multi-Layer Smoothing: Employs several layers of EMA smoothing for a clearer, more responsive main flow line.
🔧 Core Components
Velocity Component: Measures price momentum (first derivative of price), normalized by ATR. It indicates the speed and direction of price changes.
Viscosity Component: Represents market resistance to price changes, derived from ATR relative to its historical average. Higher viscosity suggests it’s harder for prices to move.
Pressure Component: Quantifies the force created by volume and price range (close - open), normalized by ATR. It reflects buying or selling pressure.
Turbulence Detection: Calculates a Reynolds number equivalent to identify market stability, ranging from laminar (stable) to turbulent (chaotic).
Main Flow Indicator: Combines the above components, applying sensitivity and smoothing, to generate a primary signal of market direction and strength.
🔥 Key Features
Advanced Smoothing Algorithm: Utilizes multiple EMA layers on the raw flow calculation for a fluid and responsive main flow line, reducing noise while maintaining sensitivity.
Gradient Flow Coloring: The main flow line dynamically changes color from light to deep blue for bullish flow and light to deep red for bearish flow, with intensity reflecting flow strength. This provides an immediate visual cue of market sentiment and momentum.
Turbulence Level Background: The chart background changes color based on calculated turbulence (from calm gray to vibrant orange), offering an intuitive understanding of market stability and potential for erratic price action.
Informative Dashboard: A customizable on-screen table displays critical metrics like Flow State, Flow Strength, Market Viscosity, Turbulence, Pressure Force, Flow Acceleration, and Flow Continuity, allowing traders to quickly assess current market conditions.
Configurable Lookback and Sensitivity: Users can adjust the base lookback period for calculations and the sensitivity of the flow to viscosity, tailoring the indicator to different trading styles and market conditions.
Alert Conditions: Pre-defined alerts for flow direction changes (positive/negative crossover of zero line) and detection of high turbulence states.
🎨 Visualization
Main Flow Line: A smoothed line plotted below the main chart, colored blue for bullish flow and red for bearish flow. The intensity of the color (light to dark) indicates the strength of the flow. This line crossing the zero line can signal a change in market direction.
Zero Line: A dotted horizontal line at the zero level, serving as a baseline to gauge whether the market flow is positive (bullish) or negative (bearish).
Turbulence Background: The indicator pane’s background color changes based on the calculated turbulence level. A calm, almost transparent gray indicates low turbulence (laminar flow), while a more vibrant, semi-transparent orange signifies high turbulence. This helps traders visually assess market stability.
Dashboard Table: An optional table displayed on the chart, showing key metrics like ‘Flow State’, ‘Flow Strength’, ‘Market Viscosity’, ‘Turbulence’, ‘Pressure Force’, ‘Flow Acceleration’, and ‘Flow Continuity’ with their current values and qualitative descriptions (e.g., ‘Bullish Flow’, ‘Laminar (Stable)’).
📖 Usage Guidelines
Setting Categories
Show Dashboard - Default: true; Range: true/false; Description: Toggles the visibility of the Market Fluid Dynamics dashboard on the chart. Enable to see key metrics at a glance.
Base Lookback Period - Default: 14; Range: 5 - (no upper limit, practical limits apply); Description: Sets the primary lookback period for core calculations like velocity, ATR, and volume SMA. Shorter periods make the indicator more sensitive to recent price action, while longer periods provide a smoother, slower signal.
Flow Sensitivity - Default: 0.5; Range: 0.1 - 1.0 (step 0.1); Description: Adjusts how much the market viscosity dampens the raw flow. A lower value means viscosity has less impact (flow is more sensitive to raw velocity/pressure), while a higher value means viscosity has a greater dampening effect.
Flow Smoothing - Default: 5; Range: 1 - 20; Description: Controls the length of the EMA smoothing applied to the main flow line. Higher values result in a smoother flow line but with more lag; lower values make it more responsive but potentially noisier.
Dashboard Position - Default: ‘Top Right’; Range: ‘Top Right’, ‘Top Left’, ‘Bottom Right’, ‘Bottom Left’, ‘Middle Right’, ‘Middle Left’; Description: Determines the placement of the dashboard on the chart.
Header Size - Default: ‘Normal’; Range: ‘Tiny’, ‘Small’, ‘Normal’, ‘Large’, ‘Huge’; Description: Sets the text size for the dashboard header.
Values Size - Default: ‘Small’; Range: ‘Tiny’, ‘Small’, ‘Normal’, ‘Large’; Description: Sets the text size for the metric values in the dashboard.
✅ Best Use Cases
Trend Identification: Identifying the dominant market flow (bullish or bearish) and its strength to trade in the direction of the prevailing trend.
Momentum Confirmation: Using the flow strength and acceleration to confirm the conviction behind price movements.
Volatility Assessment: Utilizing the turbulence metric to gauge market stability, helping to adjust position sizing or avoid choppy conditions.
Reversal Spotting: Watching for divergences between price and flow, or crossovers of the main flow line above/below the zero line, as potential reversal signals, especially when combined with changes in pressure or viscosity.
Swing Trading: Leveraging the smoothed flow line to capture medium-term market swings, entering when flow aligns with the desired trade direction and exiting when flow weakens or reverses.
Intraday Scalping: Using shorter lookback periods and higher sensitivity to identify quick shifts in flow and turbulence for short-term trading opportunities, particularly in liquid markets.
⚠️ Limitations
Lagging Nature: Like many indicators based on moving averages and lookback periods, the main flow line can lag behind rapid price changes, potentially leading to delayed signals.
Whipsaws in Ranging Markets: During periods of low volatility or sideways price action (high viscosity, low flow strength), the indicator might produce frequent buy/sell signals (whipsaws) as the flow oscillates around the zero line.
Not a Standalone System: While comprehensive, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis (e.g., price action, support/resistance levels, other indicators) and not as a sole basis for trading decisions.
Subjectivity in Interpretation: While the dashboard provides quantitative values, the interpretation of “strong” flow, “high” turbulence, or “significant” acceleration can still have a subjective element depending on the trader’s strategy and risk tolerance.
💡 What Makes This Unique
Fluid Dynamics Analogy: Its core strength lies in translating complex market interactions into an intuitive fluid dynamics framework, making concepts like momentum, resistance, and pressure easier to visualize and understand.
Market View: Instead of focusing on a single aspect (like just momentum or just volatility), it integrates multiple factors (velocity, viscosity, pressure, turbulence) to provide a more comprehensive picture of market conditions.
Adaptive Visualization: The dynamic coloring of the flow line and the turbulence background provide immediate, adaptive visual feedback that changes with market conditions.
🔬 How It Works
Price Velocity Calculation: The indicator first calculates price velocity by measuring the rate of change of the closing price over a given ‘lookback’ period. The raw velocity is then normalized by the Average True Range (ATR) of the same lookback period. Normalization enables comparison of momentum between assets or timeframes by scaling for volatility. This is the direction and speed of initial price movement.
Viscosity Calculation: Market ‘viscosity’ or resistance to price movement is determined by looking at the current ATR relative to its longer-term average (SMA of ATR over lookback * 2). The further the current ATR is above its average, the lower the viscosity (less resistance to price movement), and vice-versa. The script inverts this relationship and bounds it so that rising viscosity means more resistance.
Pressure Force Measurement: A ‘pressure’ variable is calculated as a function of the ratio of current volume to its simple moving average, multiplied by the price range (close - open) and normalized by ATR. This is designed to measure the force behind price movement created by volume and intraday price thrusts. This pressure is smoothed by an EMA.
Turbulence State Evaluation: A equivalent ‘Reynolds number’ is calculated by dividing the absolute normalized velocity by the viscosity. This is the proclivity of the market to move in a chaotic or orderly fashion. This ‘reynoldsValue’ is smoothed with an EMA to get the ‘turbulenceState’, which indicates if the market is laminar (stable), transitional, or turbulent.
Main Flow Derivation: The ‘rawFlow’ is calculated by taking the normalized velocity, dampening its impact based on the ‘viscosity’ and user-input ‘sensitivity’, and orienting it by the sign of the smoothed ‘pressureSmooth’. The ‘rawFlow’ is then put through multiple layers of exponential moving average (EMA) smoothing (with ‘smoothingLength’ and derived values) to reach the final ‘mainFlow’ line. The extensive smoothing is designed to give a smooth and clear visualization of the overall market direction and magnitude.
Dashboard Metrics Compilation: Additional metrics like flow acceleration (derivative of mainFlow), and flow continuity (correlation between close and volume) are calculated. All primary components (Flow State, Strength, Viscosity, Turbulence, Pressure, Acceleration, Continuity) are then presented in a user-configurable dashboard for ease of monitoring.
💡 Note:
The “Market Fluid Dynamics - Phen” indicator is designed to offer a unique perspective on market behavior by applying principles from fluid dynamics. It’s most effective when used to understand the underlying forces driving price rather than as a direct buy/sell signal generator in isolation. Experiment with the settings, particularly the ‘Base Lookback Period’, ‘Flow Sensitivity’, and ‘Flow Smoothing’, to find what best suits your trading style and the specific asset you are analyzing. Always combine its insights with robust risk management practices.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORIGINAL VOLUME ZONE OSCILLATOR (VZO) BACKGROUND
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creator: Walid Khalil (November 2009, Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities)
History: Khalil designed the VZO to address limitations in other volume indicators
by focusing on the relative balance between buying and selling volume while filtering
out market noise. The indicator identifies accumulation and distribution patterns.
Traditional Usage: The classic VZO uses a 14-period calculation setting and is
interpreted on a scale from -60% to +60%:
- Readings above +40% indicate strong buying pressure (potential overbought)
- Readings below -40% indicate strong selling pressure (potential oversold)
- The zero line acts as a key reference for trend changes
- Divergences between VZO and price offer valuable trading signals
Difference from Other Volume Indicators: Unlike simple volume indicators that only
track total volume, the VZO tracks the relative difference between up-volume and
down-volume, more effectively identifying buying/selling pressure imbalances and
potential reversal points.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. SUPERSMOOTHER FILTER TECHNOLOGY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Creator: John F. Ehlers, an engineer specializing in digital signal processing for
trading systems.
Origins: Introduced in "Rocket Science for Traders" (2001) and refined in "Cybernetic
Analysis for Stocks and Futures" (2004). Represents the application of digital signal
processing techniques to financial markets.
Technical Foundation: The SuperSmoother is a two-pole low-pass filter specifically
designed to eliminate noise while preserving the underlying signal. It combines
principles of Butterworth and Gaussian filters to minimize both phase shift and
passband ripple.
Mathematical Implementation:
a1 = exp(-π * sqrt(2) / period)
b1 = 2 * a1 * cos(sqrt(2) * π / period)
c2 = b1
c3 = -a1²
c1 = 1 - c2 - c3
Advantages Over Traditional Filters:
- Reduces lag compared to simple moving averages
- Eliminates high-frequency market noise more effectively
- Minimizes unwanted ripples in the output signal
- Preserves important turning points in the data
- Superior handling of sudden market movements
According to Ehlers: "Conventional moving averages are plagued by excessive lag and/or
rippling in their passband. The SuperSmoother eliminates virtually all of this ripple
and has excellent transient response characteristics." (TASC Magazine, 2014)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. SSVZO COMPONENTS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1. MAIN SSVZO OSCILLATOR
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: The core component measuring buying vs. selling volume pressure using
the SuperSmoother filter for enhanced noise reduction.
Calculation: SSVZO analyzes the relationship between up-volume (volume on rising
prices) and down-volume (volume on falling prices), applying exponential moving
averages to both components, then calculating their relative strength. The
SuperSmoother filter reduces market noise while preserving the underlying trend signal.
Implementation Advantage: By applying the SuperSmoother filter to the VZO calculation,
the SSVZO provides significantly cleaner signals with fewer false crossovers and more
accurate identification of true trend changes.
Interpretation:
- Values above zero indicate bullish volume dominance
- Values below zero indicate bearish volume dominance
- Readings above +60 suggest overbought conditions
- Readings below -60 suggest oversold conditions
- Crossovers of the zero line signal potential trend changes
Trading Application: Use SSVZO as a primary volume-based momentum indicator to
confirm price trends, identify divergences, and spot potential reversal zones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2. MOMENTUM VELOCITY COMPONENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: A histogram displaying the rate of change of momentum, showing how
quickly buying or selling pressure is accelerating or decelerating.
Calculation: Derived from price momentum over a user-defined period, with optional
adaptive filtering that adjusts sensitivity based on market volatility. The velocity
component shows the first derivative of momentum – essentially the "acceleration" of
market movement.
Technical Origin: Inspired by Ehlers' work on Hilbert Transforms and research on
cyclic components in financial markets, as detailed in "Cycle Analytics for Traders"
(2013).
Interpretation:
- Positive readings (teal bars) indicate accelerating upward momentum
- Negative readings (orange bars) suggest accelerating downward momentum
- Larger bars indicate stronger momentum acceleration
- Shrinking bars signal momentum deceleration
Trading Application: Use as an early warning system for potential trend exhaustion
or confirmation of a new trending move. When momentum velocity diverges from price,
it often precedes a reversal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3. ADAPTIVE LEVELS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Dynamic overbought and oversold boundaries that adjust to market
conditions, providing context-aware trading signals.
Calculation: Uses statistical methods based on the standard deviation of the SSVZO
values over a longer period. These levels automatically widen during higher volatility
periods and narrow during consolidation.
Research Base: Draws from Perry Kaufman's work on Adaptive Moving Averages (AMA) and
Bollinger's research on dynamic volatility bands, as published in "Trading Systems
and Methods" (2013).
Interpretation:
- Adaptive Overbought (dotted circles above): Dynamic ceiling that expands/contracts
based on market volatility
- Adaptive Oversold (dotted circles below): Dynamic floor that expands/contracts based
on market volatility
Trading Application: More reliable for identifying extremes than static levels,
particularly in changing market conditions or different instruments. Touching these
levels often provides higher-probability reversal signals.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4. STATIC LEVELS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Fixed overbought and oversold horizontal lines that provide consistent
reference points for excess market conditions.
Calculation: Preset at +60 (overbought) and -60 (oversold) based on historical
analysis of volume behavior across multiple markets, extending the classic VZO range.
Interpretation:
- Readings above +60 suggest potential buying exhaustion
- Readings below -60 indicate potential selling exhaustion
- Duration spent beyond these levels correlates with reversal probability
Trading Application: Use as baseline reference points for extreme conditions. Most
effective when combined with other confirmation signals like divergences or
candlestick patterns.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.5. TREND SHIFT DETECTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: Visual markers and optional background shading highlighting potential
trend changes when the SSVZO crosses the zero line.
Calculation: Based on mathematical crossovers of the SSVZO value above or below the
zero line, with pattern recognition to reduce false signals.
Research Foundation: Incorporates concepts from Dr. Alexander Elder's "triple screen
trading system" and Mark Chaikin's volume-based trend identification research.
Interpretation:
- Upward triangles indicate bullish trend shifts (SSVZO crossing above zero)
- Downward triangles indicate bearish trend shifts (SSVZO crossing below zero)
- Background shading emphasizes the new trend direction
Trading Application: These signals often precede price trend changes and can serve
as entry triggers when aligned with the higher timeframe trend.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.6. GLOW EFFECT VISUALIZATION
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description: An aesthetic enhancement creating a gradient "glow" around the main SSVZO
line, improving visual clarity and emphasizing signal strength.
Calculation: Generated using percentage-based bands around the main SSVZO value, with
multiple translucent layers to create a subtle illumination effect.
Design Inspiration: Inspired by modern UI/UX design principles for financial
dashboards and the MATS (Moving Average Trend Sniper) indicator's visual presentation,
enhancing perception of signal strength through visual intensity.
Interpretation:
- Teal glow indicates positive SSVZO values (bullish)
- Orange glow indicates negative SSVZO values (bearish)
- Glow intensity correlates with the strength of the signal
Trading Application: Beyond aesthetics, the glow creates visual emphasis that makes
trend direction, strength, and changes more immediately apparent, particularly useful
during fast-moving market conditions.

Trailing Cumulative Volume DeltaShort Description:
A dynamic volume delta indicator that calculates a trailing sum of net buying/selling pressure over a user-defined number of recent bars, offering a more adaptive view of order flow momentum compared to fixed-anchor CVD.
Overview:
The Trailing Cumulative Volume Delta (TCVD) indicator provides a powerful way to analyze market sentiment by tracking the net difference between buying and selling volume. Unlike traditional Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) indicators that typically reset at fixed intervals (e.g., daily, weekly), the TCVD calculates a rolling sum of volume delta over a specified number of recent bars. This "trailing" approach offers a more fluid and responsive measure of recent order flow dynamics.
How it Works:
Per-Bar Delta Calculation: For each bar on your chart, the indicator first calculates the net Volume Delta. This is done by looking at a finer, user-configurable Lower Timeframe (e.g., 1-minute data for a 15-minute chart bar) to determine the aggressive buying vs. selling volume within that bar.
Trailing Sum: The indicator then sums these individual per-bar net deltas over a user-defined Trailing Bars lookback period. For example, if "Trailing Bars" is set to 20, the TCVD value will represent the cumulative net delta of the last 20 bars.
Visualization:
The TCVD is plotted in a "MACD-Columns-Style" in a separate pane.
Teal: When the TCVD value is increasing (suggesting growing net buying pressure or diminishing net selling pressure over the trailing period).
Red: When the TCVD value is decreasing (suggesting growing net selling pressure or diminishing net buying pressure over the trailing period).
White: When it is returning to the mean.
How to Interpret and Use TCVD:
Trend Strength & Momentum:
A rising TCVD suggests that, on average over the trailing period, buying pressure is dominant or strengthening. This can confirm bullish price action or indicate underlying strength.
A falling TCVD suggests that selling pressure is dominant or strengthening, potentially confirming bearish price action or indicating weakness.
Divergences:
Unlike other Divergences, the CVD has two different types of Divergences: a) Absorption and b) Exhaustion. You only want to trade the Absorption pattern.
Zero Line Crossovers:
TCVD crossing above the zero line can indicate a shift towards net positive buying pressure over the lookback period.
TCVD crossing below the zero line can indicate a shift towards net positive selling pressure.
Confirmation: Use TCVD to confirm breakouts or breakdowns. A price breakout accompanied by a strongly rising TCVD is generally more reliable.
Key Settings:
Trailing Bars: (Default: 10)
Determines the number of recent bars to include in the cumulative delta sum.
Shorter periods make the TCVD more responsive to immediate changes.
Longer periods provide a smoother, longer-term view of order flow.
Use custom timeframe: (Checkbox, Default: false)
Allows you to override the automatic selection of the lower timeframe for delta calculation.
Timeframe for Delta Calculation: (Default: "1" - 1 minute)
Specifies the lower timeframe data used to calculate the volume delta for each individual chart bar.
Choosing a very fine timeframe (e.g., seconds) can provide high precision but may be limited by data availability or processing load.
If "Use custom timeframe" is unchecked, the script attempts to choose a sensible default based on your chart's timeframe (e.g., "1S" for second charts, "1" for intraday, "5" for daily, "60" for weekly+).
Examples:
Confirming Breakout Strength:
Price breaks out above a significant resistance level.
If the TCVD is also sharply rising and has perhaps crossed above its zero line, it provides confirmation that strong buying interest is fueling the breakout, increasing confidence in its validity.
Important Notes:
This indicator requires reliable volume data from your broker/data feed to function correctly. If your chart does not have volume, or if the volume data is unreliable, the TCVD will not be accurate.
Like all indicators, TCVD is best used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy, in conjunction with price action analysis and other indicators or tools.
Experiment with the Trailing Bars and Timeframe for Delta Calculation settings to find what best suits your trading style, the asset you are analyzing, and the chart timeframe you are using.

Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized)🔀 Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) – Visualizing Market moods becomes simpler 🔀
🧠 Introduction
The Delta AO + Regular AO (Normalized) is a custom oscillator that fuses the power of classic momentum analysis with volume-derived delta flow to give traders a dual-perspective edge.
This tool was born from a need to better visualize internal market thrust (via delta) while still respecting the time-tested signal power of the traditional Awesome Oscillator (AO).
🔍 What makes it unique?
✅ Volume-based Delta Calculation – Models upward/downward delta using a custom volatility-weighted volume allocation method, not simple tick-delta or raw buys/sells.
✅ Cumulative Delta Candles – Instead of just plotting bars, the indicator rebuilds the market structure using cumulative delta logic.
✅ Dual AO Display – Shows both custom delta AO and traditional price AO simultaneously.
✅ Normalized Scaling – Each AO is independently normalized by its standard deviation (volatility-adjusted), making both indicators visually comparable without distortion.
🧮 Under the Hood
Let’s break down the components:
1. Delta Logic 📊
Rather than using raw delta or tick-level data, this script simulates net effort:
Delta Up = Volume × a smart weighting when the candle is bullish
Delta Down = Volume × weighting when the candle is bearish
The weighting dynamically adjusts based on candle body-to-wick ratio. This provides a more refined delta estimate based on candle structure.
This delta is accumulated (cumulative delta) and used to form a synthetic OHLC candle structure.
2. AO Calculations ⚖️
Custom AO: Calculated from the median of synthetic delta candles
Regular AO: Classic (median price 5-period SMA - 34-period SMA)
Both are normalized using their own 34-bar standard deviation, improving comparability and visualization in one pane.
3. Color Coding 🎨
For the delta AO histogram:
Lime: Bullish + Increasing Momentum
Green: Bullish + Weakening Momentum
Red: Bearish + Increasing Momentum (to the downside)
Maroon: Bearish + Weakening Momentum
This lets you immediately spot momentum shifts and strength behind volume-based moves.
📈 How to Use – Trading Guide
🔧 Recommended Setup:
Timeframe: Works well on all intraday and higher timeframes (5m–1D)
Symbol: Especially effective on liquid instruments (futures, indices, large caps)
✅ Entry Signals
🔹 Buy Setup
Delta AO turns green or lime above zero, and Regular AO is also rising
Ideal confirmation: Lime bar (strong bullish delta momentum) and a crossover above zero
🔹 Sell Setup
Delta AO turns maroon or red below zero, and Regular AO is also falling
Ideal confirmation: Red bar (strong bearish delta momentum) and AO falling further below zero
🔄 Momentum Confirmation
Look for divergence between the Delta AO and Regular AO.
🔼 If Delta AO is rising but Regular AO is flat or falling → Volume is leading price (possible breakout ahead)
🔽 If Regular AO is strong but Delta AO fades → Price may be unsustainable (fakeout risk)
🛑 Exit / Reversal Clues
Sudden color shifts (e.g., Lime → Green → Maroon) can signal momentum exhaustion
Both AOs converging to zero suggests consolidation phase ahead
📌 Pro Tips
Use this with volume profile, support/resistance, or market structure zones for maximum confluence
Works great as a secondary confirmation tool for your existing strategy
💬 Final Thoughts
This oscillator is not just a pretty double AO — it's a strategic fusion of price and volume time-series designed to help you anticipate shifts before they’re obvious in price alone.
If you're looking for:
A modernized AO
Volume-integrated signal clarity
Normalized, noise-filtered momentum visual

PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI AnalysisPowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 with Custom Filters & AI Analysis
Overview
PowerHouse SwiftEdge AI v2.10 is an advanced TradingView Pine Script indicator designed to identify high-probability trading setups by combining pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend detection, and adaptive AI-driven signal filtering. The script integrates Change of Character (CHoCH) and Break of Structure (BOS) signals with customizable momentum, volume, breakout, and trend filters to enhance trade precision. Additionally, it offers an optional AI Market Analysis module that predicts future price trends across multiple timeframes, providing traders with a comprehensive market outlook.
The script is highly customizable, allowing users to tailor inputs to their trading style, whether for scalping, swing trading, or long-term strategies. It is suitable for all asset classes, including stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities, and performs optimally on timeframes ranging from 1-minute to daily charts.
Key Features
Pivot-Based Signal Generation:
Identifies pivot highs and lows to detect CHoCH (reversal patterns) and BOS (continuation patterns).
Signals are plotted as "Buy" or "Sell" labels with optional "Get Ready" pre-signals to prepare traders for potential setups.
Take-profit (TP) levels are automatically calculated based on user-defined points, with optional TP box visualization.
Multi-Timeframe Trend Analysis:
Analyzes trends across seven timeframes (1M, 5M, 15M, 30M, 1H, 4H, D) using EMA and VWAP to determine bullish, bearish, or neutral conditions.
Displays a futuristic AI-Trend Matrix dashboard showing trend direction, strength, and confidence levels for quick decision-making.
Customizable Signal Filters:
Momentum Filter: Ensures signals align with significant price changes, adjusted dynamically using ATR-based volatility.
Higher Timeframe Trend Filter: Requires signals to align with the trend of a user-selected higher timeframe (e.g., 1H).
Lower Timeframe Trend Filter: Prevents signals that conflict with the trend of a user-selected lower timeframe (e.g., 5M).
Volume Filter: Optionally requires above-average volume to confirm signals.
Breakout Filter: Optionally requires price to break previous highs/lows for signal validation.
Repeated Signal Restriction: Prevents consecutive signals in the same trend direction until the trend changes on a user-defined timeframe.
AI-Driven Adaptivity:
Incorporates Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) to assess buying/selling pressure and classify market volatility (Low, Medium, High).
Uses ATR to dynamically adjust momentum thresholds, ensuring signals adapt to current market conditions.
Optional AI Market Analysis module predicts trends across multiple timeframes by combining trend, momentum, and volatility scores.
Visual Elements:
Plots CHoCH and BOS levels as horizontal lines with distinct colors (aqua for CHoCH sell, lime for CHoCH buy, fuchsia for BOS sell, teal for BOS buy).
Draws dynamic support and resistance trendlines based on short and long-term price action, colored by trend strength.
Displays TP levels and pivot highs/lows for easy reference.
How It Works
The script combines several technical analysis concepts to create a robust trading system:
Market Structure Analysis:
Pivot highs and lows are identified using a user-defined lookback period (Pivot Length).
CHoCH occurs when price crosses below a pivot high (bearish reversal) or above a pivot low (bullish reversal).
BOS occurs when price breaks a previous pivot low (bearish continuation) or pivot high (bullish continuation).
Trend and Momentum Integration:
Trends are determined by comparing price to EMA and VWAP on multiple timeframes.
Momentum is calculated as the percentage price change, with thresholds adjusted by ATR to account for volatility.
"Get Ready" signals appear when momentum approaches the threshold, preparing traders for potential CHoCH or BOS signals.
Signal Filtering:
Filters ensure signals align with user-defined criteria (e.g., trend direction, volume, breakouts).
The Restrict Repeated Signals option prevents over-signaling by requiring a trend change on a specified timeframe before generating a new signal in the same direction.
AI Market Analysis:
The optional AI module calculates a score for each timeframe based on trend direction, momentum, and volatility (ATR compared to its SMA).
Scores are translated into predictions (▲ for bullish, ▼ for bearish, — for neutral), displayed in a dedicated table.
CVD and Volatility Context:
CVD tracks buying vs. selling pressure by accumulating volume based on price direction.
Volatility is classified using CVD magnitude, influencing the script’s visual cues and signal sensitivity.
Why This Combination?
The integration of pivot-based structure analysis, multi-timeframe trend filtering, and AI-driven adaptivity addresses common trading challenges:
Precision: CHoCH and BOS signals focus on key market turning points, reducing noise from minor price fluctuations.
Context: Multi-timeframe analysis ensures trades align with broader market trends, improving win rates.
Adaptivity: ATR and CVD adjustments make the script responsive to changing market conditions, avoiding static thresholds that fail in volatile or quiet markets.
Customization: Extensive input options allow traders to adapt the script to their preferred markets, timeframes, and risk profiles.
Predictive Insight: The AI Market Analysis module provides forward-looking trend predictions, helping traders anticipate market moves.
This combination creates a self-contained system that balances responsiveness with reliability, making it suitable for both novice and experienced traders.

Swing High/Low Scalper(Mastersinnifty)Overview
The Swing High/Low Scalper is designed for traders seeking structured entries and disciplined stop-loss planning during momentum shifts. It combines smoothed Force Index readings with swing high/low analysis to identify moments where both momentum and structural price levels align.
When a new directional bias is confirmed, the indicator plots clear entry signals and dynamically calculates the nearest logical stop-loss level based on recent swing points.
---
Core Logic
- Force Index Bias Detection
- The Force Index (price × volume change) is smoothed with an EMA to determine sustained bullish or bearish momentum.
- Signal Memory and Noise Reduction
- The indicator remembers the last signal (buy/sell) and only triggers a new signal when the bias changes, helping avoid redundant entries in sideways or noisy conditions.
- Swing-based Stop-Loss Calculation
- Upon signal confirmation, the script automatically plots a stop-loss label near the most recent swing low (for buys) or swing high (for sells).
- If conditions are extreme, fallback safety checks are used to validate the stop-loss placement.
---
Key Features
- Dynamic, structure-based stop-loss plots at every trade signal.
- Visual background bias:
- Green tint = Bullish bias
- Red tint = Bearish bias
- Minimalist and clean chart visualization for easy interpretation.
- Designed for scalability across timeframes (from 1-minutes to daily charts).
---
Why It’s Unique
- Unlike simple momentum oscillators or swing indicators, this tool integrates a state-tracking mechanism.
- A signal is only generated when a true shift in directional force occurs and swing structure supports the move, seeking to catch only meaningful changes rather than every minor fluctuation.
- This dual-filter approach emphasizes quality over quantity, aiming for disciplined entries with risk levels derived from actual price behavior, not arbitrary formulas.
---
How to Use
- Apply the Script to your desired chart and timeframe.
- Look for Signals:
- Green Up Arrow = Buy Signal
- Red Down Arrow = Sell Signal
- Observe Stop-Loss Labels
- Use the plotted SL labels for setting exit points based on recent swing structure.
- Monitor Background Bias:
- Green or Red background hints at prevailing directional momentum.

Wyckoff Accumulation Distribution Wyckoff Accumulation & Distribution Indicator (RSI-Based)
This Pine Script is a technical analysis indicator built around the Wyckoff Method, designed to detect accumulation and distribution phases using RSI (Relative Strength Index) and pivot points. It automatically marks key structural turning points on the chart and highlights relevant zones with colored boxes.
What Does It Do?
Draws accumulation and distribution boxes based on RSI behavior.
Automatically detects Wyckoff structural signals:
SC (Selling Climax)
AR (Automatic Rally)
ST (Secondary Test)
BC (Buying Climax)
DAR (Automatic Reaction)
DST (Secondary Test - Distribution)
Identifies trend transitions by detecting sideways RSI movement.
Attempts to detect spring and UTAD-like deviations based on RSI reversals.
Uses RSI extremes in conjunction with pivot points to generate Wyckoff signals.
How Does It Work?
RSI Zone: It identifies sideways markets when RSI stays within ±20 of the 50 level (this range is configurable).
Pivot Points: It detects pivot highs/lows that sync with RSI values (pivotLen is adjustable).
Trend Box Drawing:
When RSI exits the sideways zone, the script draws a gray box between the highest high and lowest low within that range.
If RSI breaks upward, the box becomes green (Accumulation); if downward, it becomes red (Distribution).
Wyckoff Structural Points:
SC/BC: Detected when a pivot occurs with RSI below/above a threshold.
AR/DAR: The next opposite pivot after SC or BC.
ST/DST: The next same-direction pivot after AR or DAR.
How to Use It
Works best on 4H or daily charts for more reliable signals. Shorter timeframes may generate noise.
Primarily used for interpreting RSI structures through the lens of Wyckoff methodology.
Box colors help quickly identify market phase:
Green box: Likely Accumulation
Red box: Likely Distribution
Triangular markers show key signals:
SC, AR, ST: Accumulation points
BC, DAR, DST: Distribution points
Use these signals alongside price action to manually interpret Wyckoff phases.

What Is the Wyckoff Method?
The Wyckoff Method, developed in the 1930s by Richard Wyckoff, is a market analysis approach that focuses on supply and demand dynamics behind price movements.
Wyckoff’s 5 Phases:
Accumulation: Smart money gradually buying at low prices.
Markup: Price begins trending upwards.
Distribution: Smart money selling to retail traders.
Markdown: Downtrend begins as supply outweighs demand.
Re-accumulation / Re-distribution: Trend-continuation phases with consolidations.
This indicator is specifically designed to detect phase 1 (Accumulation) and phase 3 (Distribution).
Extra Notes
Repainting is minimal, as pivots are confirmed using historical candles.
Labels use plotshape for a clean, minimalist visual style.
Other Wyckoff events (like SOS, LPS, UT, UTAD) could be added in future updates.
This script does not generate buy/sell signals; it is meant for structural interpretation.
ZenAlgo - RangerThe core of the indicator is the daily range, anchored around the 1-minute timeframe VWAP (volume-weighted average price), with ±2 standard deviations defining the upper and lower bounds. This range dynamically forms throughout the day and then gets “locked” at 23:59 each day to establish historical reference values.
The indicator calculates this locked VWAP and standard deviation per day, which serves two primary purposes:
Drawing today's real-time evolving range , updated each minute.
Plotting previous daily ranges , based on historical locked VWAPs and standard deviations, providing visual reference boxes on the chart.
This design enables the trader to identify mean-reversion zones and persistent directional biases based on volume-weighted price consensus.
Multiple Standard Deviation Layers
Beyond the ±2.0 deviation bounds, optional lines are available at half-step increments (e.g., ±0.5, ±1.5, ..., ±4.5) and full-step levels beyond ±2.0 (±3.0, ±4.0, ±5.0). These provide a customizable grid to visualize price extremes, tail behavior, or potential breakout zones relative to volume-adjusted price equilibrium.
Users can enable only the levels they need, offering flexibility depending on their strategy (e.g., scalping versus swing trading).
Historical Range Retention
The script stores up to 70 previous daily VWAP + standard deviation values (adjustable). For each, it draws a full range box and standard deviation lines in the past. This historical context helps in understanding how current price interacts with prior days’ balance zones.
These boxes are always drawn from 00:00 to 23:59 UTC , ensuring consistent alignment across instruments and avoiding session-based discrepancies.
Monday Range Reference (Drawn on Tuesdays)
On Tuesdays, the indicator plots the previous Monday's VWAP-based range across the rest of the week. This serves as a persistent contextual anchor for traders watching weekly unfolding behavior. The range is defined identically (VWAP ±2σ) and drawn from Monday 00:00 through the following Monday.
This method assumes Monday often sets the tone or structure for the week, and tracking this level through time may highlight support/resistance confluence or range expansion scenarios.
Each Monday range is extended over 7 days and includes dashed lines at the 25%, 50%, and 75% marks within the range. These midrange markers help traders assess microstructure behaviors (e.g., reversion to median, failure to hold midpoint, etc.).
Daily Volume Delta via 4H Candles
The indicator also integrates daily buy/sell volume deltas , derived from 4-hour candles of the regular session (non-Heikin Ashi). The logic categorizes volume as:
Buy volume when candle closes above the previous close.
Sell volume when it closes below.
Even split when the candle closes flat.
These volumes accumulate each day to derive net delta (buy - sell). This delta is recorded for each day and can optionally be displayed. A similar process tracks the delta for each Monday range on an ongoing basis.
This information quantifies the market’s aggressive buying vs. selling , correlating with price positions inside or outside the VWAP ranges. A strong delta in one direction may justify a price sustaining above/below VWAP, or diverging from the previous range.
Interpretation and Best Usage Practices
VWAP±2σ Range : Considered a high-probability area for consolidation or reversal. Mean-reverting strategies can benefit from signals within this area.
VWAP±3.0 and beyond : Extreme deviations may signal exhaustion or breakout potential, but are less frequent.
Previous Range Overlap : Overlap of today’s price with past VWAP zones may indicate support/resistance zones.
Monday Range on Tuesday : Persistent levels where the week may repeatedly pivot. Best used on instruments that exhibit weekly cyclical behavior (e.g., indices, forex).
Delta Behavior : Sharp positive or negative delta combined with price outside VWAP bands may suggest initiative participation and potential trend continuation.
Added Value Over Free Alternatives
While many free VWAP tools exist, this script differs in several specific and factual ways:
Anchored 1-minute VWAP lock at a consistent daily timestamp (23:59 UTC), enabling historical analysis.
Historical storage of previous VWAP ranges , with adjustable memory depth and visual continuity.
Flexible standard deviation plotting , down to 0.5 increments, tailored to the user's strategy needs.
Dedicated Monday range analysis , not common in freely available scripts.
Volume delta tracking per day and per Monday range , offering a directional volume view unavailable in standard VWAP implementations.
Persistent and visual interpretation framework using extended boxes and dashed lines for easier contextual navigation.
Each of these additions increases the script’s utility for methodical traders relying on volume-weighted statistics, without requiring additional configuration or external calculations.
Limitations and Disclaimers
VWAP based on 1-minute resolution : The indicator uses minute-level data to calculate daily VWAP and standard deviation. This offers high fidelity on liquid instruments but may produce noisy or unreliable levels on illiquid assets or during periods of low volume. For example, microcap stocks or thinly traded altcoins might not yield stable VWAP centers.
Inferred buy/sell volume : Volume delta is estimated using price movement from one candle to the next (close-to-close logic), rather than actual trade-level aggressor data (which is not accessible via TradingView). This approximation may misclassify volume in choppy or low-volatility environments, especially in assets where price changes do not correlate well with order flow (e.g., crypto during low-volume weekends).
Non-continuous markets and price gaps : For assets that do not trade continuously (e.g., stocks, futures), the VWAP calculation starts fresh every day at 00:00 UTC, regardless of the instrument’s official session start. As a result:
Pre-market/post-market trades may be included in VWAP when analyzing equities, even though they are often excluded in professional VWAP tools.
Opening gaps in equities and futures may distort early VWAP values due to lack of volume context, especially if the previous day's session was already closed when new data begins accumulating.
Weekend gaps in crypto, although less frequent due to 24/7 trading, can still influence delta accumulation if abrupt moves happen during low liquidity periods.
Daily session alignment : The VWAP anchoring and box drawing uses 00:00 UTC to 23:59 UTC windows. For instruments with different official session timings (e.g., US equities, CME futures), this may cause mismatches between expected session VWAPs and the ones shown in this script.
Conclusion
The ZenAlgo – Ranger script offers a systematic visualization of volume-adjusted price behavior, combining statistical VWAP ranges with volume delta overlays. By integrating daily and weekly reference zones, this tool supports structured decision-making in various market environments, particularly for traders prioritizing mean reversion, range expansion, or trend confirmation.

3CRGANG - Histogram (Basic)This indicator provides traders with a unified view of momentum by combining multiple classic oscillators into a single histogram. By aggregating momentum signals into one visual output, it simplifies trend analysis, helping traders identify momentum shifts without managing multiple indicators separately.
What It Does
The 3CRGANG - Histogram (Basic) calculates a momentum-based histogram using a user-selected oscillator (e.g., RSI, MACD, MFI, RVI, Stochastic, Stochastic RSI, or TMASlope). The histogram is plotted with color-coded bars to indicate bullish, bearish, or neutral momentum, alongside predefined alert levels and a trend status table for quick reference.
Why It’s Useful
This script addresses the challenge of monitoring multiple momentum indicators by consolidating them into a single histogram. Each oscillator measures momentum differently (e.g., RSI tracks price strength, MACD focuses on moving average convergence, MFI incorporates volume), but the script normalizes these signals into a unified output. This reduces chart clutter and provides a clear, actionable signal for identifying trend direction, making it easier for traders to focus on key momentum shifts across various market conditions.
How It Works
The script follows these steps to generate the histogram:
Oscillator Selection: Traders choose one oscillator to base the histogram on. For example: RSI measures the speed and change of price movements, MACD tracks the relationship between two exponential moving averages, and MFI combines price and volume to measure buying/selling pressure. The choice of oscillator affects the histogram’s sensitivity to price movements.
Fast Oscillator Calculation: A fast-moving oscillator is computed using the selected method over a user-defined period (default: 8 bars). For instance, RSI calculates the relative strength of price gains versus losses, while MACD computes the difference between short and long EMAs. The result is normalized to a range centered around zero.
Histogram Plotting: The oscillator’s output is adjusted by a modification factor (default: 1) for sensitivity tuning and plotted as a histogram. Positive values indicate bullish momentum, negative values indicate bearish momentum, and values near zero suggest a lack of clear trend.
Color Coding: Bars are colored based on momentum and price direction: green for bullish momentum (price moving upward, histogram value typically positive), red for bearish momentum (price moving downward, histogram value typically negative), and grey for neutral momentum (ranging conditions or unclear trend).
Alert Levels: Predefined buy and sell levels are plotted as dotted lines to mark significant momentum thresholds. For most oscillators, levels are set at 20 (buy) and -20 (sell), representing overbought/oversold conditions based on historical performance. For TMASlope, levels are adjusted to 0.04 and -0.04, as it measures the slope of a triangular moving average relative to the average true range (ATR).
Trend Table: A table in the top-right corner displays the current timeframe’s trend status ("Buy Only," "Sell Only," or "Ranging") based on the histogram value, price direction, and alert levels, along with the histogram’s numerical value.
Underlying Concepts
The script is built on the concept of momentum aggregation, aiming to capture short-term price dynamics while filtering noise. By using a fast-moving oscillator, it emphasizes recent price action, and the histogram format provides a visual summary of momentum strength. The alert levels are derived from typical overbought/oversold thresholds for each oscillator, adjusted to ensure consistency across different methods. The trend table adds a layer of interpretation, helping traders quickly assess whether the momentum aligns with the broader trend.
Use Case
Trending Markets: In a bullish trend, green bars above the buy alert level (e.g., 20) indicate strong upward momentum, suggesting potential long entries. In a bearish trend, red bars below the sell alert level (e.g., -20) suggest short opportunities.
Ranging Markets: Grey bars or values between alert levels indicate a lack of clear momentum, prompting caution or scalping strategies.
Confirmation Tool: Use the histogram to confirm price action signals, such as breakouts or reversals, by ensuring momentum aligns with the direction of the move. For example, a breakout with green bars above the buy level may signal a stronger trend.
Settings
Choose Type: Select the oscillator to use (default: RSI - CLASSIC).
Source: Choose between Close or HL2 price data (default: Close).
Histogram Length: Set the period for oscillator calculation (options: 5, 8, 13; default: 8).
Modification Factor: Adjust the sensitivity of the histogram (default: 1).
Notes
The script supports classic oscillators only and operates on the current timeframe.
If volume data is unavailable for your ticker, MFI calculations may not work; select another oscillator to continue plotting.

Logic: Fluxor focuses on detecting specific price transitions, validating them against an internal directional and momentum layer, and then confirming the move based on the script’s overarching market bias.
Visual Representation: When Fluxor is activated, up and down label markers (“▲+” or “▼+”) appear at points the system regards as noteworthy transitions. These do not guarantee trades but are designed to guide users on when buying or selling pressure may have intensified or reversed.
How It Helps: Fluxor is streamlined for those who want simpler, clearer triggers that factor in both trend alignment and short-term motion shifts. This option is more for mean reversion traders.
Flowgen
Logic: Flowgen employs a slightly more sophisticated approach that evaluates multiple “environmental layers,” including structural alignment, directional slope checks, and distinct open-state filters.
Visual Representation: When Flowgen senses a valid transition, it prints discrete up and down markers, much like Fluxor, but triggered by different, multi-layer considerations.
How It Helps: Flowgen caters to traders who desire more emphasis on layered agreement—where multiple aspects of the market must line up before a signal is shown. This option is more for trend following traders.
Overlays (Nebula Trail, Velora, Stellar Stepfilter)
Nebula Trail
Purpose: This indicator employs dynamic, color-coded bands around price action to illustrate prevailing market bias and track which side—bulls or bears—wields greater influence, aligning with a trend-following approach.
Usage: This indicator creates outer and inner “band” regions that can function as potential support or resistance in alignment with market momentum. In bullish phases, the cloud below price acts as a supportive barrier, whereas during bearish conditions, the cloud above price provides a point of resistance. When a bearish signal is detected, traders may enter short positions on a price bounce off this band and then exit when subsequent take-profit cues appear, effectively leveraging the band for both entry and exit strategies.
Velora
Purpose: Extends the concept of band visualization into layered “tiers,” giving a more fine-grained view of how price transitions from one band to another.
Representation: Zones are subdivided into multiple steps, each with distinct shading. As the script’s internal logic detects shifts between bullish or bearish conditions, these layered bands expand or contract to reflect changing momentum.
Usage: Velora subdivides zones into multiple steps, each featuring distinct shading. As the script's internal logic detects shifts between bullish or bearish conditions, these layered bands expand or contract, signaling changes in momentum. When price enters the upper band, especially if the HUD meter shows less definitive momentum, it may hint at a non-trending environment; conversely, in a bearish scenario, the lower band can act as potential support. Narrower bands often point to an impending breakout, while wider bands can suggest a possible reversion in price. Velora is well-suited for traders wanting to see more intermediate zones where the market may hesitate or show partial confirmation—ideal for refined entries or exits.
Smooth:
Choppy:
Stellar Stepfilter
Purpose: Focuses on a persistent directional line that only updates when the script’s logic deems a genuine shift is taking place.
Representation: A single line plots on the chart to represent the “locked” direction. During periods of noise or indecision, this line may remain static, reducing false signals. Optionally, bars can be recolored to reflect bullish or bearish states.
Usage: Traders who prefer a minimalistic, stand-back approach often select Stellar Stepfilter for its ability to filter out choppy conditions and highlight clearer momentum strides. When the line remains flat—particularly in the very slow or “turtle” mode—it signals a ranging market, offering valuable insight into periods of reduced volatility. In TURTLE mode, bars are recolored green or orange to reflect locked trend direction more visibly. TURTLE mode offers the most conservative setting within the Stepfilter engine, emphasizing stability and clarity by reacting only to the strongest directional conditions and visually reinforcing its state through bar coloring.

Probability Table
Description: The Probability Table is displayed on the top-right corner (by default). It automatically fetches data for a handful of assets (in this case, five popular cryptocurrencies), then scores each asset on multiple behavioral metrics. By default, the Probability Table monitors SOL, BTC, ETH, BNB, and XRP from Binance.
Metrics Explained:
HV: Suggests how the asset’s price is fluctuating relative to a standard reference.
ATR/Vol: A ratio that provides insight into volatility compared to trading activity.
WBR: Compares candle wicks against their bodies to gauge the frequency of price swings outside an open-close range.
Liq Clust: Indicates if there are pockets of stable or unstable liquidity.
Momentum: Observes shifts in buying or selling pressure.
PRI: Shows a baseline measure of how far price has deviated from a certain average over time.
Final Verdict: Based on each metric’s reading, an overall classification emerges: Predictable, Moderate, or Chaotic.
How It Helps: Traders can quickly scan this table to see if an asset’s environment is “Predictable” (potentially more structured), “Moderate” (balanced or transitional), or “Chaotic” (unstable and riskier). Each cell can optionally show either numeric approximations or simple “up/down” arrows to reduce clutter.
Non Numeric Values
Numeric Values
Stellar HUD Meter
Description: Located at the top center of the chart, this horizontal gauge toggles between “Trending” and “Ranging,” representing how firmly price is locked in directional expansion versus sideways hesitation.
Mechanics (General): The gauge increments or decrements over time, smoothing out abrupt shifts. A pointer slides across the meter, indicating whether conditions are leaning more toward persistent momentum or uncertain, choppy movement.
How It Helps: This immediate visual feedback helps traders decide if momentum strategies or mean-reversion approaches are more suitable at a given moment, avoiding reliance on guesswork alone.
Take Profit Signals
Description: After any buy or sell trigger occurs (either through Fluxor or Flowgen), the script can flag up to three potential exit points.
Trigger Logic (General): These exits appear when certain internal checks sense that short-term upside or downside pressure may be waning.
Representation: Small markers (“X”) appear near the top or bottom of the candle.
How It Helps: Rather than passively holding a position, these optional signals remind traders of possible exhaustion points. If they choose to follow them, it can help secure partial or full profits during a trend.
Why more than one indicator?
Having more than one internal indicator engine allows Stellar Nexus to adapt to different market behaviors and personal trading styles. Sometimes traders require swift, high-frequency triggers (Fluxor). Other times, they prefer more layered agreement before taking a position (Flowgen). Similarly, each overlay—Nebula Trail, Velora, and Stellar Stepfilter—offers a distinct method for visualizing price action. Markets are dynamic, and no single representation is ideal for all conditions. By blending multiple approaches into one script, Stellar Nexus provides flexibility: a user can switch between sets of signals or overlays based on market phase, personal risk preference, or the timeframe being traded.
Additional Features
Alert System: Built-in alerts for every trigger or state change ensure that traders can receive real-time notifications, even when away from the chart. The alert system includes buy/sell triggers, trend shifts, overlay transitions, take-profit points, and predictability status changes across monitored assets.
Selective Visibility: Users can enable or disable various modules—Probability Table, HUD Meter, Take Profit Signals—to keep their chart interface uncluttered.
State Persistence: Certain modules “lock in” their reading until a strong reason emerges to change it, which can help minimize false flips in volatile conditions.
Tailored Aesthetics: Color choices and label styling are curated to be visually distinct, reducing confusion when multiple signals or overlays occur simultaneously.
Conclusion
Uptrick: Stellar Nexus is a comprehensive, multi-layer script that merges aesthetic clarity with functional depth. It combines diverse overlays, signal engines, probability analyses, and a heads-up market meter into one cohesive tool. By handling trending vs. ranging states, evaluating asset predictability, and offering selective take-profit cues, it serves as a versatile companion for traders who want organized, visually intuitive guidance. Its originality is found not only in how it disguises internal computations, but in the ease with which users can cycle through different overlays and signals to suit changing market conditions. As always, personal due diligence, market awareness, and risk management remain essential. Stellar Nexus simply provides a refined canvas on which to read and interpret price action more confidently.

RSI VWAP POC [Uncle Sam Trading]Category: Oscillators, Volume, Market Profile
Timeframe: Suitable for all timeframes
Markets: Crypto, Forex, Stocks, Commodities
Overview
The RSI VWAP POC indicator is a powerful and innovative oscillator that combines the Relative Strength Index (RSI), Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), and Point of Control (POC) from market profile analysis. Designed to provide traders with clear, high-probability trading signals, this indicator helps you identify key market levels, spot overbought/oversold conditions, and time your entries and exits with precision. Whether you’re a day trader, swing trader, or scalper, this free tool adds significant value to your trading strategy by offering a unique blend of momentum, volume, and market profile insights.
How It Works
This indicator integrates three core components to deliver actionable insights:
RSI (Relative Strength Index): Measures momentum to identify overbought (above 70) and oversold (below 30) conditions, helping you anticipate potential reversals.
VWAP (Volume-Weighted Average Price): Calculates a volume-weighted price benchmark, which is used to compute a more accurate, volume-sensitive RSI. This ensures the indicator reflects true market dynamics.
POC (Point of Control): Derived from market profile analysis, the POC represents the price level with the highest traded volume in a session, acting as a critical support or resistance level.
The indicator plots a smoothed RSI based on VWAP, overlaid with market profile data on a user-defined higher timeframe (default: 4H). The POC is displayed as a red line, with aqua bars indicating the value area where the majority of trading volume occurred. When the RSI crosses the POC, the indicator generates clear buy and sell signals:
Strong Buy (SBU): RSI crosses above the POC in an oversold zone.
Strong Sell (SBD): RSI crosses below the POC in an overbought zone.
Additional features include:
Background colors to highlight bullish (green) or bearish (red) trends.
Shaded zones for overbought (70/60) and oversold (30/40) levels.
Customizable settings to fit your trading style and timeframe.
How This Indicator Adds Value
The RSI VWAP POC indicator offers several key benefits that enhance your trading performance:
High-Probability Signals: By combining RSI, VWAP, and POC, this indicator identifies trades at key market levels where price is likely to react, increasing your win rate.
Improved Timing: Clear buy and sell signals, such as ‘SBU’ and ‘SBD’, help you enter and exit trades at optimal points, maximizing profitability.
Risk Management: Overbought/oversold zones and trend confirmation via background colors help you avoid false signals, protecting your capital.
Versatility: Suitable for all markets (crypto, forex, stocks) and timeframes, making it a valuable tool for traders of all experience levels.
Time Efficiency: The indicator does the heavy lifting by analyzing momentum, volume, and market profile data, allowing you to focus on executing trades.
Real-World Performance Example: On a 1-hour Bitcoin chart with a 4-hour higher timeframe, this indicator identified a strong sell signal on April 6th at 12:00 ($82,000), leading to a 9% drop to $74,600. A subsequent strong buy signal on April 7th at 04:00 ($76,200) captured a 6% rise to $81,200 – a potential 25% profit with 5x leverage if exited at 5%.
How to Use
Add the Indicator: Search for “RSI VWAP POC ” in TradingView’s indicator library and add it to your chart.
Set Your Timeframe: The indicator works on any timeframe but is optimized for a 1-hour chart with a 4-hour higher timeframe (set in the settings).
Interpret Signals:
Look for ‘SBU’ (strong buy) labels when the RSI crosses above the POC in an oversold zone, indicating a potential buying opportunity.
Look for ‘SBD’ (strong sell) labels when the RSI crosses below the POC in an overbought zone, signaling a potential selling opportunity.
Use the background colors (green for bullish, red for bearish) to confirm the trend.
Combine with Your Strategy: Use the indicator alongside your existing analysis (e.g., support/resistance, candlestick patterns) for best results.
Settings and Customization

Gann Percentage of High & Low Prices for Options - Keanu_RiTzThis Indicator is based on the text from Chapter 4 "Percentage of High & Low Prices" page number "30" from the book "WD Gann 45 years in Wall Street".
This Indicator is to be used on Intraday Timeframes and only on Options Charts (CALL & PUT) and not on any other chart.
The following is the text from that page :-
One of the greatest discoveries I ever made was how to figure the percentage of high and low prices on the averages and individual stocks.
The percentages of extreme high and low levels indicate future resistance levels.
There is a relation between every low price to some future high price and a percentage of the low price indicates what levels to expect the next high price.
At this price you can sell out long stocks and sell short with a limited risk.
The extreme high price or any minor tops are related to future bottoms er low levels.
The percentage of the high price tells where to expect low prices in the future and gives you resistance levels where you can buy with a limited risk.
The most important resistance level is 50% of any high or low price.
Second in importance is 100% on the lowest selling price on the averages or individual stocks.
You must also use 200%, 300%, 400%, 500%, 600% or more, depending upon the price and the Time Periods from High and Low.
Third in importance is 25% of the Lowest price or the Highest price.
Fourth in importance is 121/2% of the extreme Low or extreme High price.
Fifth in importance is 61/4% of the Highest price, but this is only to be used when the averages or individual stocks are selling at very high levels.
Sixth in importance is 33 1/3 and 66 2/3%. These percentages should be calculated and watched for resistance next after 25% and after 50%.
You should always have percentage tables made up on the Industrial Averages and on the individual stocks you trade in in order to know where these important resistance levels are located.
Description :
It plots the Intraday % levels from the highest high and lowest low of that day.
The calculation of these levels is based on the text from Chapter 4 "Percentage of High & Low Prices" page number "30" from the book "WD Gann 45 years in Wall Street".
I developed this indicator to see if those percentages work on Options prices or not,
and from my observation I found that it works wonderfully in Options as well.
These % levels work like magic and act as great Dynamic Support and Resistance levels.
Don't trust my words blindly and see for yourself.
This indicator is for educational and research purpose only.
It does not provide any BUY/SELL signals.
CVD Divergence Insights📘 CVD Divergence Insights – by Colicoid
Pine Script v6 | Volume Delta Divergence Oscillator with Spike Detection
⸻
🔍 Overview
CVD Divergence Insights is a volume-aware oscillator and divergence spike detector that helps you spot smart money activity, absorption, failed pressure, and hidden strength or weakness — even when price action alone gives little away.
It works by comparing normalized Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) against normalized price movement, and optionally applying a volume-weighting layer to highlight when aggressive participation is truly behind the divergence. The result is a dynamic visual tool that identifies tension in the market, and helps you trade based on how that tension resolves.
⸻
🧠 Core Concept
• When price moves one way and CVD moves another, it reflects imbalance between aggression and result.
• Divergence is not a trigger — it’s a build-up of pressure.
• The real edge lies in the resolution of that pressure.
• Optional volume-weighting helps you ignore noise and focus on high-conviction moves only.
⸻
⚙️ How It Works
1. CVD Calculation
CVD is generated using lower-timeframe delta volume (buy vs. sell pressure), accumulated per bar.
2. Oscillator
A normalized divergence between the smoothed CVD and smoothed price.
3. Volume Weighting (optional)
Emphasizes divergences occurring on higher-than-normal volume, deprioritizes low-volume noise.
4. Signal Line (optional)
A short EMA of the oscillator to help track momentum shifts (hidden by default).
5. Divergence Spikes
Statistical spike detection using standard deviation — green/red dots highlight unusually large divergence activity.
⸻
🎛️ Inputs
Anchor Period
Higher timeframe where the CVD is accumulated and processed.
Lower Timeframe
Optional override for granularity of buy/sell volume data.
SMA Length
Used for smoothing both price and CVD before divergence is calculated.
Volume Weighted?
Enables adaptive weighting based on relative volume size.
Volume Normalization Length
Lookback period used to define what is “normal” volume.
Divergence Spike Threshold
StdDev-based threshold to detect abnormally large divergences.
Signal Line Length
Controls the EMA smoothing of the optional signal line (hidden by default).
⸻
📈 Trade Setup Example: Hidden Bullish Divergence
1. Price forms a higher low, but CVD forms a lower low — hidden bullish divergence.
2. This shows aggressive sellers are trying, but price is resilient — likely absorption.
3. You wait for a "convergent signal bar":
• A bullish candle with strong structure or body
• Confirmed by CVD starting to turn upward
4. That’s your trigger bar — the tension resolves upward.
⸻
🤝 Recommended Pairings
For best results, combine CVD Divergence Insights with the companion script:
🔗 Cumulative Volume Delta Line (also by Colicoid)
This lets you:
• See the raw CVD line and its SMA visually
• Spot standard and hidden divergences in price/CVD directly
• Use the Insights indicator to evaluate divergence quality and flag aggressive bull/bear behavior
• Use the same SMA length on both indicators for alignment
👉 Tip: To save screen space, drag the CVD Line indicator into the same panel as CVD Divergence Insights.
⸻
🧰 Why Use This?
• ✅ Catch absorption setups and failed pressure zones
• ✅ Filter out low-quality divergences using volume context
• ✅ Understand why price is hesitating or breaking out
• ✅ Add smart confirmation to breakout/reversal trades
• ✅ Align your execution with who’s actually in control

Built in Pine Script v6 for advanced price-volume analysis, with focus on effort vs result, market psychology, and smart money detection.
McClellan Oscillator - IRUS Optimized🧠 McClellan Oscillator (IRUS Index)
Type: Market Breadth Indicator
Category: Breadth, Momentum
Purpose: Gauge the internal strength of the IRUS index and anticipate trend reversals
📌 Based on
This indicator is built on the concept of advancing vs. declining issues — the number of stocks rising vs. falling each day within the IRUS index (a custom group of 40 Russian stocks).
It calculates the net advances (advancers minus decliners), then applies two exponential moving averages (EMA):
java
Copy
Edit
McClellan Oscillator = EMA_19(Net Advances) - EMA_39(Net Advances)
Where:
Net Advances = Number of advancing stocks - Number of declining stocks
Calculated from a fixed set of 40 IRUS stocks
🧭 What it shows
Above 0 → more stocks are rising: market is internally strong.
Below 0 → more stocks are falling: underlying weakness.
Rising from below -100 → oversold breadth, possible bullish reversal.
Falling from above +100 → overbought breadth, possible correction.
🎯 How to use it
1. Buy/Sell Signals
Buy: Oscillator drops below -100 and turns up → oversold, potential rally.
Sell: Oscillator rises above +100 and turns down → overbought, risk of pullback.
2. Trend Strength Confirmation
Sustained above 0 → confirms bullish trend.
Crosses below 0 → early warning of weakening market breadth.
3. Divergences with IRUS Price
IRUS rises, but Oscillator falls → narrowing leadership, bearish divergence.
IRUS falls, but Oscillator rises → improving breadth, bullish divergence.
⚠️ Notes
The oscillator measures participation, not price.
Works best with daily timeframe.
Does not account for volume or magnitude of price moves.
Use with price action or other indicators for confirmation.
⚙️ Custom Implementation
This version is specifically adapted for the IRUS index, using a fixed list of 40 component stocks.
Optimized for Pine Script v6 and complies with TradingView's request limits (max 40).

Four-Color Order Flow System Four-Color Order Flow System – Smart Money Liquidity Tracking
Revolutionizing Market Structure with a Four-Color Candle System
Traditional candlestick charts lack real-time liquidity visibility, forcing traders to rely on lagging indicators. The Four-Color Order Flow System solves this by integrating Order Blocks (OBs), Accumulation/Distribution (AD), Swing High/Low (SH/SL), and Delta metrics directly into the candle structure. This mashup of volume, price action, and liquidity flow gives traders an intuitive and immediate read on market conditions.
📌 Key Features & How They Work Together
🔹 Four-Color Candles – A Visual Edge Over Traditional Charts
Instead of basic red/green candles, we introduce a four-color system to highlight key liquidity shifts:
• 🔴 Red – Bearish pressure, aggressive sellers dominating.
• 🟢 Green – Bullish pressure, buyers stepping in.
• 🔵 Blue – Swing Highs (SH), Bullish Order Blocks (OBs), Accumulation zones.
• 🟡 Yellow – Swing Lows (SL), areas of liquidity sweep or potential reversal.
This eliminates the need to switch between multiple indicators—price structure, liquidity zones, and order flow are embedded directly into the chart.
🔹 EMA Logic – The Trend Foundation
The EMA acts as the core trend filter, dynamically adjusting to market bias. When combined with delta and liquidity flow, it helps traders confirm whether price action aligns with smart money movements.
🔹 Order Flow & Liquidity Mashup – What’s Really Moving the Market?
📊 Rolling Delta & Cumulative Delta – Track aggressive buyers/sellers and confirm if momentum is sustained or fading.
💰 Liquidity Flow & Shift – Shows whether market makers are accumulating or distributing, helping traders avoid fake breakouts.
📈 Money Flow Index & Value – Measures real institutional participation vs. retail noise.
These elements combine to validate price moves, making it clear when smart money is truly in control.
🔹 Swing Highs & Lows – Market Structure in Real-Time
SH/SL markers don’t lag behind multiple candles like in traditional indicators. Instead, they align with OBs and liquidity flow, giving a strong confirmation of trend continuation or reversal.
🔹 Live Label Update – Real-Time Market Intelligence
The dynamic label box provides a live feed of critical metrics, including:
✅ EMA Bias – Confirms market direction.
✅ Rolling & Cumulative Delta – Tracks aggressive buy/sell imbalances.
✅ Liquidity Flow & Money Flow Index – Confirms institutional strength.
✅ FVG Execution Scanning (Coming Soon!)
This ensures traders have instant insight into market conditions without needing to check multiple sources.
📈 Why Traders Need This System
🔹 Faster Decision-Making – No need to flip between indicators; everything is visible on the chart.
🔹 Clearer Liquidity Insights – Order flow, delta, and structure all in sync.
🔹 Works for Scalping & Day Trading – Designed for real-time execution, not lagging signals.
By integrating order blocks, liquidity shifts, and a four-color candle system, this tool provides the most complete view of market control in a single chart.
📌 Stop reacting. Start anticipating. Trade with the flow of smart money.
